Zuni Cafe

So many great dishes beg to be ordered at Zuni Cafe -- roast chicken, hamburger, Caesar salad -- that it's difficult for people to find their way to Judy Rodgers' other spectacular dishes. Now the front of the house has a new attitude, thanks to Rodgers' new partner, Gilbert Pilgram, who worked many years at Chez Panisse. No restaurant captures the pulse of the city better -- politicians, celebrities, the transgendered, artists and executives all find common ground at this classic place that won the James Beard award for Outstanding Restaurant and won Rodgers the Outstanding Chef honor.
